IMPROVEMENT IN' GATES.

l The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES SAXTON, of' Fredonia, in the county of Licking, and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gates; and do hereby declare that the following is a fnll, clear, and exact description thereof', referencey eration, referring tothe annexed drawings, in which- Figilre l'is a front view of the entire gate and Figure 2 isa side view of one ot' the bevelled rollers. A and Al represent the gate-posts, placed any desred distance apart.

' On a line-with these posts is placed another post, A2, a suitable distance from the post A1.

On each-of these three posts, at' the saine distance from the ground, is pivoted a roller; the one, C, on the gate-post A, being a common anged roller, with the tiange lon the outer end, while the other two, Cl and C2, placed respectively onA the posts A.l and A, have a flange on the outer end, which is bevelled iuward toward the centre, as shown in iig. `2.

The gate B is made in any of the known and usual The arrangement, upon a gate,

ways, of suitable size to close` the -apertilre between the gate-posts A and A1.

On the inner side of the gate B are placed two par-4 allel bars, D, which are bevelled on their inner edges, so that when placed on the rollersv G1 and C2 they will fit the bevelled flanges on the same.

The bars D D extend at the rear end of the' gate far enough to embrace the roller C", when the gate is' closed, and at'this end the bars D D are connected or closed by a cross-bar, E, and also braced to the gate by the brace G. y

At the front end of the gate the upperv one ofthe bars D extendsa suitable distance, and is notched at its lower edge, so as ,to catch on the hanged' roller C, and hold the ,gate closed..

Having'thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to-se'cnre by Let-- ters Patent, isl of the bevelled parallel bars D D, cross-bar E, brace G, and bevelled and flanged rollers C1 O2, substantially as shown andl described. Y Y

I n testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have` hereuntoV set my hand, this 28th day of September,

CHARLES SAXTON.
